Adopting a pet with us

  • A two week trial period is given for all new owners. If it doesn’t work out, the animal comes back to us and your fee is refunded in full.
  • All cats, dogs, and kittens are desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, vet checked, treated for fleas and worms.
  • Puppies are microchipped, vaccinated, vet checked, and treated for fleas and worms. If they’re too young to be desexed in care the adopter gets a voucher for the pup to be desexed at one of our vets when it’s old enough.
  • All cats and kittens are rehomed as indoor only pets.
  • All applicants for dogs and puppies must pass a yard inspection.
  • Enquiries and adoption applications are via the animal’s web profile only. This is a direct line the animal’s volunteer foster carer, who knows the animal best – please be patient and polite if they take a little while to get back to you!
